Do a google search for cast iron tea pots and you will find a few thousand options.
I bought my tea pots at Tea Gschwendner and Teavana, one with dragons in red it is gorgeous. The tea pot warmers come from Teavana. The Teavana pot was my Christmas gift from my Hubby. The TG one I bought when they had a sale where everything was 50% off if you bought a cast iron tea pot. I went a bit nuts that day and saved a ton of money.
Yes I spent a good amount but I would have spent more on my normal tea order then I did buying a cast iron tea pot and my normal tea order. It was awesome.
If you are thinking of getting a cast iron pot and a tea pot warmer make sure that you get a warmer that has a lid that covers the flame with air holes on the sides. I had a friend get a cast iron pot warmer with the flame exposed to the pot and it singed the bottom of the pot. The cast iron lid over the warmer prevents that from happening.

I do not recommend these types of warmers (They singe)
